Description

用於自動化製造的電子菸設計 Electronic cigarette design for automated manufacturing

本發明的領域為電子香菸的設計與製造。 The field of the invention is the design and manufacture of electronic cigarettes.

電子香菸或所謂的電子菸的使用正迅速擴展中，以作為替代傳統抽真實菸草的香菸。電子香菸一般具有電池，具有加熱元件的一噴霧器，一液體容器，以及連接至該電池、該加熱元件及一吸入感應器的電力控制電路。當使用者吸氣時，該吸入感應器會偵測到吸入，且該控制電路將來自該電池的電流提供至該加熱元件。該加熱元件加熱液體以產生供使用者吸入的蒸氣。 The use of electronic cigarettes or so-called electronic cigarettes is rapidly expanding as an alternative to traditional cigarettes that smoke real tobacco. Electronic cigarettes typically have a battery, a sprayer having a heating element, a liquid container, and a power control circuit coupled to the battery, the heating element, and a suction inductor. When the user inhales, the inhalation sensor detects inhalation and the control circuit provides current from the battery to the heating element. The heating element heats the liquid to create a vapor for inhalation by a user.

即使電子菸的成長迅速，它們部分仍為手工製造，通常包括經由手工焊接的電子連接。電子菸的手工組裝局限了生產能力與穩定度。也會影響品質控制，造成低效率的材料使用，且大幅地阻礙了有關自動化生產的節省成本的目標。 Even though e-cigarettes are growing rapidly, some of them are still hand-made, usually including electronic connections via hand soldering. Manual assembly of e-cigarettes limits production capacity and stability. It also affects quality control, resulting in inefficient material use and significantly hampers cost-saving goals for automated production.

許多電子菸當作一次性使用的產品或可拋棄式產品來出售。在這些電子菸中，當液體供應已用盡時，電池需隨著電子菸而被丟棄。這樣會限制了供電子菸使用的電池的類型，及/或產生環境的電池處理的複雜度。更遑論 會有動機來克服些缺點，為了提供改良的電子菸設計及製造電子菸的方法，仍然具有各種工程上的挑戰。 Many e-cigarettes are sold as disposable or disposable products. In these electronic cigarettes, when the liquid supply has been used up, the battery needs to be discarded along with the electronic cigarette. This limits the type of battery used for the electronic cigarette and/or the complexity of the battery handling environment. More paradox There are motives to overcome some of the shortcomings, and there are still various engineering challenges in order to provide improved e-cigarette design and methods of manufacturing e-cigarettes.

一種電子香菸，包含：一管；一控制模組、一電池、一加熱器模組及一液體供應，係位於該管內，該控制模組與該加熱器模組位於該電池的相對側，且每個該控制模組與該加熱器模組具有一圓柱形外殼；以及一連接器帶，該連接器帶非經線路而將該加熱器模組電性連接至該控制模組。 An electronic cigarette comprising: a tube; a control module, a battery, a heater module and a liquid supply are located in the tube, the control module and the heater module are located on opposite sides of the battery, And each of the control module and the heater module has a cylindrical outer casing; and a connector strip electrically connected to the control module without a line.

本案提供了一新穎的電子菸設計。亦揭示了用於製造一電子菸的新穎的方法。接著參照圖式細節，如圖1、2中所示，電子菸20包括可組裝再一起然後安裝於管22內的元件。管22可為一薄壁金屬管，例如不鏽鋼，具有類似於傳統菸草香菸的長度與直徑，一般為80~120公厘長及具有8-12公厘的直徑。在所示例子中，電子菸20的元件可包括位在電池28的相對側的控制模組24及加熱器模組50。連接器帶30可用來提供在控制模組24與加熱器模組50之間的一電性連接，而非使用傳統的線路。仍參照圖1，在所示例子中，電子菸20可更包括位在加熱器模組50與液體供應72之間的一印刷電路板或加熱板64。 This case provides a novel electronic cigarette design. A novel method for making an electronic cigarette is also disclosed. Referring next to the drawings, as shown in Figures 1, 2, the electronic cigarette 20 includes elements that can be assembled together and then mounted within the tube 22. Tube 22 can be a thin-walled metal tube, such as stainless steel, having a length and diameter similar to conventional tobacco cigarettes, typically 80-120 mm long and having a diameter of 8-12 mm. In the illustrated example, the components of the electronic cigarette 20 can include a control module 24 and a heater module 50 positioned on opposite sides of the battery 28. The connector strip 30 can be used to provide an electrical connection between the control module 24 and the heater module 50 rather than using conventional circuitry. Still referring to FIG. 1, in the illustrated example, the electronic cigarette 20 can further include a printed circuit board or heater board 64 positioned between the heater module 50 and the liquid supply 72.

如圖1、3所示，元件24、28、50及72通常為圓柱形的或圓板形的，且具有外徑，該外徑名義上小於管22的內徑。如此，藉由將該些元件從該管的其中一端滑動進入管22，而允許將該些元件安裝於管22內。如圖3、11所示，控制模組24上的O形環36將控制模組24保持在接近管22的前端的位置。一前蓋26扣至管22上以閉合該管的開放式前端。類似地，一嘴蓋80扣至管22的後端上。 As shown in Figures 1 and 3, elements 24, 28, 50 and 72 are generally cylindrical or disc shaped and have an outer diameter that is nominally smaller than the inner diameter of tube 22. Thus, by sliding the elements from one end of the tube into the tube 22, the elements are allowed to fit within the tube 22. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 11, the O-ring 36 on the control module 24 maintains the control module 24 in a position proximate the forward end of the tube 22. A front cover 26 is snapped onto the tube 22 to close the open front end of the tube. Similarly, a mouthpiece 80 is snapped onto the rear end of the tube 22.

現參照圖4、5，可對加熱器模組50提供圍繞圓柱形外殼52的O形環54。加熱器模組50可具有位在加熱器模組外殼52上或在其後端的彈簧線60或類似的加熱元件，其中該彈簧線用來汽化液體。在圖4、5的例子中，彈簧線60具有一中心軸AA垂直於管22的縱軸LL。彈簧線60的導線62會穿過加熱板64上的開口，並延伸入加熱器模組外殼52。在加熱器模組外殼52上或在其前端的一第一電性接觸66，可選地為一彈簧的形式，會接觸於導線62的其中之一。如圖10所示，位在加熱器模組外殼52的一側面的一開口內的一第二電性接觸68係電性地接觸於其他導線62，並接觸於連接器帶30的後端。可選地在加熱器模組外殼52的側面上提供一夾扣56，以在管22與加熱器模組50之間形成電性接觸，及/或幫助加熱器模組50在管22內保持定位。加熱器模組50亦可具有一開關58，不管控制模組24所提供的控制操作，開關58可用來防止電流流至彈簧線60。 Referring now to Figures 4 and 5, the heater module 50 can be provided with an O-ring 54 that surrounds the cylindrical outer casing 52. The heater module 50 can have a spring wire 60 or similar heating element located on or at the rear end of the heater module housing 52, wherein the spring wire is used to vaporize the liquid. In the example of Figures 4, 5, the spring wire 60 has a central axis AA perpendicular to the longitudinal axis LL of the tube 22. The wire 62 of the spring wire 60 will pass through the opening in the heater plate 64 and into the heater module housing 52. A first electrical contact 66 on the heater module housing 52 or at its front end, optionally in the form of a spring, contacts one of the wires 62. As shown in FIG. 10, a second electrical contact 68 located in an opening on one side of the heater module housing 52 is electrically in contact with the other conductors 62 and contacts the rear end of the connector strip 30. Optionally, a clip 56 is provided on the side of the heater module housing 52 to form electrical contact between the tube 22 and the heater module 50, and/or to help the heater module 50 remain within the tube 22. Positioning. The heater module 50 can also have a switch 58 that can be used to prevent current from flowing to the spring wire 60 regardless of the control operation provided by the control module 24.

如圖6、7所示，類似於加熱器模組50，控制模組24亦可具有一圓柱形外殼46、一O形環36、及一夾扣38。軸向空氣孔44可以延伸穿過外殼46，以對在控制模組24與加熱器模組50之間的管22中所形成的電池隔間48形成排出口。在控制模組外殼48的前端上可提供一發光二極體42。如圖11所示，在控制模組外殼46後端上的端接觸40係經由一內部連接器45而電性連接至連接器帶30的前端。 As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, similar to the heater module 50, the control module 24 can also have a cylindrical outer casing 46, an O-ring 36, and a clip 38. The axial air holes 44 may extend through the outer casing 46 to form a discharge port for the battery compartment 48 formed in the tube 22 between the control module 24 and the heater module 50. A light emitting diode 42 can be provided on the front end of the control module housing 48. As shown in FIG. 11, the end contact 40 on the rear end of the control module housing 46 is electrically coupled to the front end of the connector strip 30 via an internal connector 45.

如圖8所示，連接器帶30將控制模組24電性連接至加熱器模組50。該連接器帶可由塑料材料製成，例如具有導電塗層的聚對苯二甲酸乙酯(PET)。該連接器帶可以是薄的(例如0.5至1.5毫米)，且經彎曲以配合並平靠在該管的內徑。如圖2、10及11所示，連接器帶30的該些端可經成形或彎折成片32，該些片32***控制模組外殼46與加熱器模組外殼52的側開口以形成電性連接。隨著該些元件組裝於管22內，該些片32無法從模組24與50中拉出來，因而形成可靠的電性連接。再次參照圖1、8，隨著電子菸20的組裝，控制模組24係經由端接觸40直接連接至電池的正極，並且藉由彈簧66與接觸帶30連接至電池的負極。 As shown in FIG. 8, the connector strip 30 electrically connects the control module 24 to the heater module 50. The connector strip can be made of a plastic material such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with a conductive coating. The connector strip can be thin (e.g., 0.5 to 1.5 mm) and bent to fit and rest against the inner diameter of the tube. As shown in Figures 2, 10 and 11, the ends of the connector strip 30 can be formed or bent into a sheet 32 that is inserted into the side opening of the control module housing 46 and the heater module housing 52 to form Electrical connection. As the components are assembled within the tube 22, the sheets 32 cannot be pulled out of the modules 24 and 50, thereby forming a reliable electrical connection. Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 8, with the assembly of the electronic cigarette 20, the control module 24 is directly coupled to the positive terminal of the battery via the end contact 40 and is coupled to the negative terminal of the battery by a spring 66 and a contact strip 30.

連接器帶30可具有多個獨立的導電線，以在控制模組24與加熱器模組50之間提供電力及訊號。連接器帶30的使用，允許電子菸不需接線或焊接即可製造。其亦允許電池可從管22輕易地移出，以回收或分離棄置。管22本 身，或在管22的內側上的導電鍍層亦可選擇地使用作為它們之間的附加的導電體。 The connector strip 30 can have a plurality of separate conductive lines to provide power and signals between the control module 24 and the heater module 50. The use of the connector strip 30 allows the electronic cigarette to be manufactured without wiring or soldering. It also allows the battery to be easily removed from the tube 22 for recycling or separation. Tube 22 The body, or a conductive coating on the inside of the tube 22, may alternatively be used as an additional conductor between them.

如圖9A所示，在初始的組裝步驟，一個墊圈70如木纖維墊片會被可附接到液體供應72。液體供應72可為在一塑料或金屬管74內的一PET過濾材料，具有通過液體供應72而從嘴蓋80延伸至加熱器模組50的一中央通道76。在如圖9B所示的第二組裝步驟，控制模組24、電池28、加熱器模組50及液體供應72可經對齊並一起放置在一固定架上或之內以形成一元件群組。參照圖9C，在第三組裝步驟，片32係安裝於連接器帶30，該些片32係***控制模組外殼46內的接觸開口與加熱器模組外殼52內的接觸開口。在如圖9D所示的第四組裝步驟，該元件群組，現在包括該導體帶，會被移動，例如被推入管22。最終組裝步驟係顯示於圖3，具有嘴蓋80與前蓋26被壓入或卡扣在管22的該些端部。 As shown in Figure 9A, a gasket 70, such as a wood fiber gasket, can be attached to the liquid supply 72 during the initial assembly step. The liquid supply 72 can be a PET filter material within a plastic or metal tube 74 having a central passage 76 extending from the mouthpiece 80 to the heater module 50 by a liquid supply 72. In a second assembly step, as shown in Figure 9B, control module 24, battery 28, heater module 50, and liquid supply 72 can be aligned and placed together on or within a holder to form a group of components. Referring to Figure 9C, in a third assembly step, the sheets 32 are mounted to a connector strip 30 that is inserted into a contact opening in the control module housing 46 and a contact opening in the heater module housing 52. In a fourth assembly step as shown in Figure 9D, the group of components, now including the conductor strip, will be moved, for example, into tube 22. The final assembly step is shown in FIG. 3 with the mouth cover 80 and the front cover 26 pressed or snapped over the ends of the tube 22.

O形環36與54的外徑可名義上大於管22的內徑。在這種情況下，當安裝至管22內時，O形環被略微壓縮，產生足夠的摩擦力以將該些元件在管22內牢固地保持定位。O形環也有助於阻止任何在管22內散溢的液體的洩漏。 The outer diameter of the O-rings 36 and 54 can be nominally greater than the inner diameter of the tube 22. In this case, when mounted into the tube 22, the O-ring is slightly compressed, creating sufficient friction to hold the elements securely within the tube 22. The O-ring also helps to prevent any leakage of liquid that escapes within the tube 22.

參照回圖1~3，與現有的電子菸相比較，電子菸20具有較少的分離元件。每個該些元件係大致為圓柱形的或圓板形的。因此，該些元件可經排序，並經由自動化或機器人處理。例如，可經由一個機器人將該些元件設置 於一支架或固定架上，以與管22對齊，然後將其推入管22。在這種情況下，剩下的唯一組裝步驟是安裝前蓋26與嘴蓋80，該步驟亦可經由自動化完成。不同於許多現有的電子菸，本案未使用或不需要螺紋、焊接、線路定位，熱收縮管等。 Referring back to Figures 1-3, the electronic cigarette 20 has fewer discrete components than existing electronic cigarettes. Each of these elements is generally cylindrical or disc shaped. Thus, the components can be ordered and processed via automation or robotics. For example, these components can be set via a robot On a bracket or holder, to align with the tube 22 and then push it into the tube 22. In this case, the only assembly step remaining is to install the front cover 26 and the mouth cover 80, and this step can also be done automatically. Unlike many existing electronic cigarettes, this case does not use or require threading, welding, line positioning, heat shrink tubing, and the like.

因此，本案已揭示出和描述一種新的電子菸和製造方法。當然可以作出各種改變和替換而不脫離本發明的精神和範圍。因此，本發明不應該受到以下權利要求及其等同物的限制。此處所引用的電子菸，不含焊接連接和線路，其係指在附圖中所示的元件，而並非任何連接、線路、或控制或加熱模組內的元件，例如具有焊接連接或線路的微電子的元件。 Therefore, a new electronic cigarette and manufacturing method have been disclosed and described in the present case. Various changes and substitutions may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention should be limited by the following claims and their equivalents. The electronic cigarette cited herein, without solder joints and wiring, refers to the components shown in the drawings, and is not any connection, wiring, or components within the control or heating module, such as having soldered connections or wiring.
